I'm in a similar position (having a Alpha with RH 5.0) and not being able to build cleanly. I have seen comments (such as the one below) about compatibility between OSF/1 (now Digital UNIX) and Alpha Linux binaries. Is it possible that the Amaya OSF/1 binary was linked statically or that a statically linked binary could easily be made available? http://ww2.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/news?msg@670@comp%2eos%2elinux%2ealpha Jason C Webb (jwebb@nmsnpd.nmsu.edu) wrote: : Hi, : We're interested in getting an alpha based PC (something like a : microway Screamer) to do number crunching on. What I'm wondering is : whether binaries which we compile under Digital Unix (DEC Fortran) on : our Alpha Stations will run on the Alpha PC w/Linux as the OS? Or, : would we need to buy a compiler and compile under the new platform. : Thanks, : J They will run if linked statically (with -non_cached flag). DEC Fortran is still far superior than anything you can get on Linux/Alpha platform. Xiaoguang Zhang
